Rich was with us before daylight on Lake St. Clair a day when an unpredicted strong wind kicked up and things got hairy to the point I wondered if we were going to make it off the water. He sat up in the front of the boat, completely fearless, rolled with the punches till we got safe into the shallows. We set the rig at sunrise and he shot the biggest bull canvasback I've ever seen with that old 10 gauge hammer gun while the wind howled at our backs.

We got home late last night and I just saw this thread this morning. Like many others, I only knew Richard through his wonderful posts. What I've read here enhances the impressions I had of him, and I'm glad his family can read the wonderful remembrances from his friends of a life well lived. I'll certainly miss his presence on our forum.

Sadness fills my heart. Some folks you never have to meet to truly appreciate a life lived. Peace and love to Rich's family.
